The Ugly Empress, Chapter 71, vol 2 Chapter 25: Husbands in Tune
Teng Yun just walked by, Xue Jun Liang repeated with a smile and said, “Haven't you gone back to have a rest?"
"Just going back," said Teng Yun
“I'm afraid I disturbed Teng Ying's rest."
Maybe it's because Teng Yun drank too much wine and didn't say the proper word. The usual sentence “This Imperial court official dares not" was forgotten behind.
Xue Jun Liang put his hand on the railing and said, “It's nice to have a drink and cool in the wind." he added, asking Rui Xue to bring you a cape, “You're not cold."
Teng Yun shook his head and said, “Don't bother. This Imperial court official is not so delicate."
Xue Jun Liang was stunned for a moment. He looked at Teng Yun's face as if he was a little distracted. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently rub his cheek. Then he smiled and said, “I forgot that Teng Ying was a general who once led the army to the Shui River."
Teng Yun didn't move. Maybe it's because his mind is a little stiff and his head is dead drunk. Xu Jun Liang's palm was a little hot. He dallied gently on his face, but he didn't move.
Rui Xue, at this time, has wisely retreated to the outside of the pavilion and waited.
Xue Jun Liang didn't want to do anything. He put down his hand and suddenly said, “After today, Xue Chang Jing will have no reason to stay in the capital. I want to send someone to take over the military power. It's impossible to rest assured if Xue Yu will go alone..."
He said he glanced at Teng Yun and said with a smile, “But I am reluctant to let you go."
Teng Yun turned his head and looked outside the pavilion again, but it was obvious that his eyes had no focus, he just didn't like Xue Jun Liang talking like this.
Xue Jun Liang said: “The whole situation is the most important thing for me. I hope you will get back soon."
“His majesty, don't worry," said Teng Yun. “It's just the right to withdraw the troops, not go to war."
Xue Jun Liang nodded and said: "let Teng Shang go with you. If there is anything, there will be someone to discuss I know you trust Teng Shang. Although he refuses to be an official, he will help you."
Teng Yun nodded, and they had nothing to say.
When he got up early the next day, Teng Yun saw the bright yellow bed sheet at the first sight. He was still muttering in his heart. He didn't know why the bed sheets had changed color. He turned around and saw a face close to him.
Teng Yun woke up at once. Last night, he and Xue Jun Liang were standing in a small pavilion to talk. Later, he spent the night in the bedroom of Emperor Xue. Because he was drunk, Teng Yun slept very hard and couldn't remember what happened later.
When Xue Jun Liang opened his eyes, he saw Teng Yun's face was red and stunned. He smiled and said, “Teng Ying has been dreaming all morning?"
Seeing through his mind, Teng Yun quickly got up to put on his clothes. There didn't seem to be any discomfort on his body.
Xue Jun Liang said with a smile: “Don't worry, I'm a monarch, and I'm not going to do anything while you are drunk."
He then called Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu and Rui Xue to come in, dressed respectfully for Emperor Xue and Teng Yun, washed and headed up.
When Teng Yun went down, he went to the Marquis of Wannian mansion. Xue Hou Yang as dealing with business affairs in the military office, and there is only Teng Shang in the mansion.
The purpose of Teng Yun's coming here is to let Teng Shang and himself go to the Marquis of Zheng’an.
Teng Yun didn’t want to invite Teng Shang out to the mountains, because Teng Yun knew that his idea is different from his own. He can marry a man in order to build the Teng state. His heart is only for a powerful country, but now the Teng state is gone, and Teng Yun can't know if Teng Shang is willing to go out of the mountain.
Teng Shang seemed a little surprised to see him. He asked Teng Yun to sit down and serve some good tea. Then he said with a smile, “Emperor Xue is willing to let you out of the palace?"
Teng Yun's face was embarrassed and answered vaguely, “In fact, I'm going to say goodbye to my uncle this time."
"Presumably, will Emperor Xue send you?"
Teng Yun nodded, “That's right."
After Teng Shang didn't speak, he picked up the tea bowl and blew the leaves. He took a sip, which seemed to be very leisurely. He smiled and said, “Emperor Xue has done something, I'm afraid you haven't said it yet."
“I can't hide anything from my uncle..."
Teng Yun said, “Yes, but I don't want to make it difficult for you."
Teng Shang said: “I'd already guessed out that according to the nature of the Xue state’s emperor, how can you walk away so easily? He's worried. No matter how different the Xue state was from the one he is worried about, in short, he's worried about you going too long. Naturally, he wanted to find someone or something to let you come back. If I go with you, I think the Marquis of Wannian will want to urge me to come back. If you do things quickly, you will come back early."
Hearing his ambiguous words, Teng Yun couldn't help but feel a little confused. Did Emperor Xue know his mind and thinking patterns from long ago?
At the thought of this, Teng Yun didn’t know what it felt like. In a word, it's complicated.
Seeing his face in his eyes, Teng Shang knew that Teng Yun has a simple mind. If he doesn't like it, how can he put it in his mind? He won't care about this kind of thing. If he cares about it, it proves that he attaches importance to it.
Teng Shang doesn't want to embarrass him. After all, the things of the Teng state have long passed, and the pain in his heart has long been washed off by Xue Hou Yang.
Teng Shang pretended to be surprised: “What's wrong with your neck? Are there any insects in the palace? Is this how the Yunfeng palace is cleaned?"
At first, Teng Yun touched his neck with his fingers. He couldn't see what was wrong with his neck. However, his hands were a little itchy and a little tingling. Since Teng Yun has lived to this day, he has met people in the world. How can he still not know what it is? Now he is extremely embarrassed.
Teng Shang at this time, however, almost opened the topic and said, “I will go with you naturally."
What else does Teng Yun have to say? Teng Shang added: “You can rest assured. If it's something I don't want, I won't do even how much friendship I have. Since it's something I'm willing to do, you don't need to care too much."
Teng Shang left Teng Yun for lunch. Rui Xue came over and said with a smile, “Master, his majesty is looking for you to go back to the meeting."
Teng Shang naturally knew that Xue Jun Liang had not seen him for a long time, and began to worry again. He deliberately left Teng Yun for a long time, and then let them go.
Xue Jun Liang didn’t have anything to discuss with Teng Yun, but he has been out of the palace all morning. Although he knew that Teng Shang and Teng Yun are uncles and nephews, they have a strong relationship. His Kung Fu and martial arts were all taught by Teng Shang, and Teng Yun respects and admires Teng Shang just out of family affection.
But Xue Jun Liang can't help but secretly smell sour in his heart. It's said that Teng Shang is the most intimate person to Teng Yun, and he will be uncomfortable in the end.
Xue Jun Liang has always felt that he is able to swim in world troubles, and as the emperor, he is also qualified. Only now can he understand that there is a person who can make himself out of control or anxious. He has always been able to swim, but he just didn't recognize this person.
Teng Yun came to see Xue Jun Liang, and Xue Jun Liang said, “Actually, Teng Ying came back, just to let Teng Ying go to see the crown prince with me."
Teng Yun had no objection. They went over together. They had lunch at noon and didn't start reading in the afternoon.
Xue Pei didn't look at Teng Yun, nor did the He Family's three brothers.
Xue Jun Liang asked Shen Yi about the recent situation of the crown prince. Naturally, Shen Yi would like to praise the crown prince. Indeed, the crown prince is also very smart.
Xue Jun Liang said: "Pei-er has pleased Zhen."
After a pause, he turned around and said: “This time, there is another thing Zhen wanted to ask for three people for Teng Ying to manage, Pei-er.”
When Xue Pei heard this, he understood that it was the three He Family’s brothers, so he said with a smile, “The Imperial father didn't know anything about it. He Zhong and his brothers are men with bad temper and a reckless men, was only loyal to empress. Now Empress Mother has been killed. I'm afraid there is no one to order them."
He Zhong and the brothers and Xu Pei are also dignified. They are naturally straight tempered. They never thought that they would beg for help if they brushed the face of Emperor Xue.
“In fact, although the event of this low Imperial court official is no more dangerous than the battlefield, it has its own weight, and this low Imperial court official is not sure to let three people follow it," said Teng Yun
When he Zhong listened to his words, he was a little contemptuous. He was not happy. He said, “What do you know? When I was a general, I'm afraid you were still suckling on your mother bosom!"
Teng Yun was not angry and said with a smile: “It's true, but I know a lot in those days, what a heroic feat of three tiger generals in a row of the He Family’s brothers. Later, they were forced to settle down as bandits. I didn't expect that they would be happy to be a little more than bodyguards now. It's easier than being a bandit. They don't have to fight for houses or houses, or fear of lawsuits. They gradually temper their ambition and determination. Now they will let you go to the battlefield to kill enemies. I'm afraid that the three of you will not be able to do it."
When He Zhong listened to Xu Jun Liang's presence, he cussed: "Nonsense, I'm born to kill enemies, and I never just want to have fun!"
“Good."
Xue Jun Liang smiled at this time and said, “Then Zhen will make you three partial generals. Let Teng Ying have a good look after you."
The three didn't think too much, so they kowtowed to the leader.
Xue Jun Liang and Teng Yun went back to the main hall as soon as the husbands sang the same tune and were of the same mind. They called together the great Imperial court officials to discuss the departure time. Teng Yun took the three He Family’s brothers with him and set out in the name of escorting the new the Marquis of Zheng’an.
Because the Teng Yun is going to get the right to receive troops, not to fight, so he didn't take many people, and he was also afraid that Xue Chang Jing might have an unrealistic dream that is unachievable. It's not good to not preparation for it, so the preparation time doesn't need to be too long, and it will start soon.
Xue Chang Jing is interested in Teng Yun, but he is the person of the Emperor Xue. The attitude expressed by the Emperor Xue is obvious. Xue Chang Jing no longer complained about himself to him, especially when he married the princess, who was pampered and nurtured since childhood, and always wanted to be coaxed when she traveled long distances.
Xue Chang Jing is a good man. He could not do anything after drinking the wedding wine that night. Fortunately, he was good at telling the truth and making the princess turn around without any doubt. Xue Chang Jing thought that when the fiefdom was so far away from the Feng state, and there was no one around the princess, he would no longer be afraid, so he endured for a while.
Along with Teng Yun, Teng Shang's team was not slow. The officials along the way knew that these people are all the imperial court men in front of Emperor Xue. Naturally, they dare not neglect them, but the team is in a hurry to catch up, and they are all in a hurry.
When it came to the fiefdom, Xue Chang Jing's second brother, The Marquis of Zheng’an's second son, came to greet him, because the Imperial decree informing them had already come, and the Marquis of Zheng’an's sons had received the favors, and everyone was given the military power and the land, so they were very happy. They heard that the capital wanted to make the Imperial court officials welcomed, so they would naturally bow to the other person.
